I mentioned infomaniak.com already as an Email provider (can bring you own domain). It is also Switzerland. But regarding law enforcement, posteo.de did a pretty decent job. E.g.:

I once saw a long post from posteo with examples for idiot law enforcement trying to get customer data. Sometimes even writing from private emails (e.g. gmail). Without a court order, such requests are not legit.
I have previously also used Migadu, but I migrated to mailbox.org. Can't remember why exactly and looking at migadu.com again today, they seem to tick all the boxes for me when it comes to personal email. I remember they had a great UI in general, but in particular the settings UI was fantastic.
> How can I trust you? You can't. Cock.li doesn't parse your E-mail to provide you with targeted ads, nor does cock.li read E-mail contents unless it's for a legal court order. However, it is 100% possible for me to read E-mail, and IMAP/SMTP doesn't provide user-side/client-side encryption, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. Any encryption implementation would still technically allow me to read E-mail, too. This was true for Lavabit as well -- while your E-mail was stored encrypted (only if you were a paid member, which most people forget), E-mail could still technically be intercepted while being received / sent (SMTP), or while being read by your mail client (IMAP). For privacy, we recommend encrypting your E-mails using PGP using a mail client add-on like Enigmail, or downloading your mail locally with POP and regularly deleting your mail from our server.
Also, there's this quote from /g/:
Administering a mail host is sort of like being a nurse; there's a brief period at the start when the thought of seeing people's privates might be vaguely titillating in a theoretical sense, but that sort of thing doesn't last long when it's up against the daily reality of shit, piss, blood, and vomit.
Now that I think about it, administering a mail host is exactly like being a nurse, only people die slightly less often.

They also publish all emails/call recordings when dealing with law enforcement on their transparency page.
Some people are way too serious on the Internet. If you are offended by a bunch of words without proper context you really need to go outside.

I'd also argue that most people that complain about those jokes unironically think that author is actually racist, like it doesn't even cross their mind that it could be a joke, even a "bad" one.
Ironically, the fact that some people react in this way makes these jokes even funnier

Cock.li on the other hand is run by the OvO systems owner himself.
He used to recommend mailbox.org and migadu.
Two questions:
1) Does anyone know why he does not recommend Tuta(nota)? Edit: I missed the footnote
> Do they make unfounded claims about security or privacy, or develop techniques which ultimately rely on trusting them instead of supporting or improving standards which rely on encryption?
> This also rules out ProtonMail and Tutanota, doubly damning them, especially because it provides an excuse for skipping IMAP and SMTP, which conveniently enables vendor lock-in.
I see from other comments that they don't support IMAP/SMTP and force their own apps.
2) Does anyone know why he stopped recommending mailbox.org? He changed it a few weeks ago without any explanation I can see.
